  • ‘Just Say NO!’ gets national creds (updated)

    George Rebane For some years now RR has proffered a solution to government’s overreach in hog-tying us with laws, regulations, and codes which are “pointless, stupid, and tyrannical”.  When I have attempted to explain to our elected betters – at least to those who agree that the current regulatory morass painfully afflicts our Republic – how…

  • Constitutional Convention – The debate continues

    George Rebane In recent years both the Right and Left have launched initiatives to hold a constitutional convention (Con-Con) to settle some real serious issues on the future direction of these United States.  Promoters on both sides devoutly believe that there exist provisions and they have expertise to implement them to insure that the con-con…

  • Suddenly SoJ has become real (updated 19apr15)

    George Rebane The State of Jefferson movement was started over a year ago to offer northern Californians and the citizens of its thinly populated rural counties an alternative to being ignored by the social engineers, central planners, and bureaucrats in Sacramento.  The cry from these people has been ignored for over a generation, and working…

  • California’s Drought and Moonbeam Madness

    George Rebane Governor Moonbeam’s latest dicta about how Californians should now take showers underlines the years long insane policies under which the Left has governed our state.  The most recently mandated 25% (of what) reduction of consumer water use is the direct result of “decades of environmental excess”. Since 2000 alone the public has expressed its…

  • Liberal Mind – Smoothing out cultural ripples

    George Rebane Used to be that America was this and not that.  We had a predominant culture that was a unique amalgam of the cultures our European immigrants brought with them.  Each succeeding wave of newcomers somehow adapted and worked their culture into what was then resident.  To be sure, cultural discrimination was already popularly…

  • The Big Government Go Along (updated 7mar15)

    George Rebane I think Union publisher Jim Hemig gets it.  This morning’s (6mar15) Union has another piece by Hemig in which he supports the 12may15 presentation to our Board of Supervisors on the movement to create the new State of Jefferson.  After some pretty deep heel marks on the floor, the persistent efforts of Mr…

  • Ruminations – 9feb15 (updated 16feb15)

    George Rebane Data homogenization is not an objective scientific process. Recreational marijuana will be legalized across the country over the next several years.  RR is on record as a proponent of judicious progress in this direction.  Nevada County’s economy already enjoys a major contribution from the illegal RMJ that various estimates put above the $100M…

  • Unclear on the Concepts

    George Rebane Politics – Purposed pandering intended to sway a wider audience under the guise of communicating with another party. The local Wrong-way Corrigan collectivists seem to have trouble untying their bundled undies.  With one side of their mouth they are continually describing our community as being “purple”, and with the other side complaining that…

  • ERC’s 2015 Economic Development Conference

    George Rebane Yesterday afternoon and evening I, along with various board members of the Sierra Economics and Science Foundation, joined with several hundred other Nevada County residents at the Grass Valley Veterans Center to hear nationally known economics commentator and urban studies pundit Joel Kotkin, along with an invited panel of economic development professionals, to…

  • More Pabulum for the Devoutly Ignorant

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 21 January 2015.] Last night President Obama gave a well-delivered yet futile State of the Union speech.  It contained a list of shibboleths of the kind that the Democrats have long pilloried congressional Republicans during the last six years.  All of…
